Class Holiday Parties-
If your learning community would like to have their class holiday parties at another time other than 3:15-4:00, please let Claudia know. We need to prepare to have extra hands in the office to check in guests. Please send out information to your parents about the time of your party and any supplies/food donations that are needed. Remember holiday parties cannot compete with lunch.
Daily Attendance:
TEA is watching attendance this year. There is no wiggle room anymore. Attendance must be taken at 10:00 am. Not at 9:50 or 10:05..... 10:00 am on the dot. The attendance reminder has been changed to alert at 10:00 am. If you have questions, please see Stacey.
If one teacher misses the 10:00 am deadline (meaning one teacher misses taking attendance or one teacher takes it too early or too late) the school looses funding for all students for the day. That is roughly $30,000 per day. YIKES!!!
If you have thoughts on how we can make this happen easier, please let me know.
Walkthrough Tickets:
We will continue celebrating the great instruction we see by handing out raffle tickets for walkthroughs. Some specific instructional practices we will be looking for are:
* small group instruction
* students receiving feedback from one another/student engagement (turn and talk, four corners, talking chips etc..)
* randomization (popsicle stickers, spinners, colored cards, etc...)
* using CHAMPS
If you have something exciting going on, invite us in. We'd love to come!
Reminders for Next Week

- 5th and 6th Math have bus duty.
- ELT Week Two - Second Block Students

- All Walkthrough Winner tickets get turned it into the white/grey container in my office. Or bring them to our next faculty meeting if you prefer.
- Don't forget to respond to 504 and ARD invites on Outlook. That's how the counselors and Hailey know who will be attending. Remember only one teacher needs to be in attendance.
